City of Angels by Emma Lane Dormer

An accidental meeting. A fateful conversation. A chance for something more?

Cade McAllister has been on the run for two years, fleeing the ghosts of his past. When he finally reaches the Pacific coast on his road trip to nowhere, he figures Los Angeles will be more of the same old, same old. But when a beautiful woman runs into him—literally—at a no-name motel in a shady neighborhood, Cade finds himself inexplicably drawn to her. And when a mistake of his own comes back to haunt him, he ends up in the perfect position to woo this woman…or drop her like a rock.

Jenna Carter has lived a tough life, but she’s determined to come out the other side of her struggles victorious. First, however, she has to survive her business trip to LA with her neurotic boss, and so far, it’s not going very well. When a mixup at a hotel sends her scrambling to find a room somewhere else, she accidentally rams face first into a tall, handsome hunk of a man with a chip on his shoulder. A man who unwittingly drags Jenna into a dangerous conflict. A man who sparks something inside Jenna she hasn’t felt in years. A man who has the potential to be the one…or the one who got away.
